School Supplies

We are one of the few schools that start after Labor Day. It's now time for me to get the school supplies and each year the lists seem to get longer and longer. I'm not sure how the rest of you do it but I'm about tired of trying to count out 60 pencils (to sharpen later) and making sure I get the right color of plastic folder with pockets while keeping the kids out of the way of other crazed moms or constantly telling them we are not eating lunch at Target. So...this is the year. I am ordering my school supplies online. I've checked some prices on a few of the items and I'm actually getting a pretty good deal. If you spend over $59 (which is easy to do in a house with 5 kids) then shipping is free. Unfortunately they do not have every item I'm looking for but even most will be a big help. I can shop while kids are playing nicely and I don't have to take the baby, spend money on gas and get irritated with the kids because they are just wanting to ask me a question while I count out all the boxes of crayons, scissors, glue, etc.......PLUS....I can buy the pencils already sharpened :)
